Mick Ronson was a shredder! Not only did he kill it in Bowie's Spiders from Mars but he contributed epic solos to some Mott the Hoople songs. There's this unreleased Hoople track called "(do you remember) saturday gigs" that he slays! He's not a super technical player, he just chooses the perfect notes and lets them take him and the listeners as far out as they wanna go. Listen to him mess about on and after the last verse in Bowie's song "time" off Aladdin Sane. It's otherworldly!
That's him on the far right next to Bowie. I think he died of cancer; he got the bad news and it got him.
LISTEN TO "STARMAN" OR "MOONAGE DAYDREAM."
